:clap2::whoo:Hi all. It's been a long 7 months, but I got my approval December 10th. I thought I'd never hear from insurance. The paperwork was submitted to Cigna November 16th. I was beginning to worry, well worry even more. I've worried my friends, my family and my husband till they are sick of hearing about it. NA they are proud that I want to do something about my weight. Like most it's been a life long battle. When I got the call, my preschool class was about to go outside. My assistants laughed as I chanted, I'm gonna get skinny! I goto Dr. Spaw Monday the 17th. I guess for pre-op and visit with him. They say he doesn't have any more December dates open, but it might be January. That's fine with me. I can start the year off with a resolution to loose weight and hoepfully this tool will get me there.

Now for the pre-op diet. I start it next week. Good luck to all! Felicia

I am going to Baptist, Dr. Spaw will be doing my surgery. I have to go the 27th for upper gi and blood work, then another visit with him to go over everything. I start preop the 26th, so I've been cleaning out the sweets and stocking up on broth, protein shake from GNC, and sf popsicles. I hope to be in the "one-der land" by this time next year. Merry Christmas!
